Effort by local water districts to change water suppliers moves into next phase
The advisory committee, established by the San Diego County Local Agency Formation Commission to analyze applications from the Fallbrook and Rainbow water districts to change water suppliers, is expected to complete its work by the end of this year and forward its recommendation to the full commission. After enduring years of soaring water costs from the San Diego County Water Authority and having to pay for infrastructure projects that don’t serve the districts and that they don’t need, Fallbrook Public Utility District and Rainbow Municipal Water District are seeking to detach from the Water Authority and begin purchasing their water at a reduced rate from Eastern Municipal Water District.
